The Restless Girl's

"The Restless Girls" by Jessie Burton is a dazzling, feminist reimagining of the classic fairy tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses.

Set in the kingdom of Klockendane, the story follows twelve sisters who are kept under lock and key by their father, King Alberto, following the death of their mother. However, every morning, their shoes are found worn through to the soles. The book follows the eldest sister, Frida, as she leads her siblings on a brave quest to find a world where they can be more than just "decorations" in a palace.
